I just joined a moment ago, looking for an interesting bout with 16 bots, like back in the good ol days when you had to work to keep the bots from taking over.

I was the only one on the server, 3 bots and me. Ugh, so boring, I left.

Weird, I had it set for 16 before, but it was indeed set for 4 (Min Players).

Set to 16. Again. Thanks McLovin.



I also cranked up the bot skill one notch, for shitz and gigglez

Sa-weet! Thanks Carpe! I'll give it a try. Fuck mowing my grass and doing chores. I've gotz bots to kill. Yeehaaa!

Can we reduce their skill, playing late at night in a small map that is NOT a tank map is damn near impossible.

Also, can we discuss why the poll results are not being used as guidance? I am not trying to pick a fight, but 13 people said to reduce the bot count and 3 said don't. 2 were vocal about it. I am sure you have a good reason for it, but I am curious.

Hell, even I think only 1 bot is a mistake now, but 16 is too high IMHO. Playing Nevemore the other day they all got caught up in the cores and were no help, several were in all vehicle seats tieing up key vehicles.

I agree. The bot skill is set too high and there are too many bots anyways.

I agree. We voted to reduce them, so what was the reasoning behind the increase?

Definitely too many bots now. But I disagree about the bot skill level being too high. I thought increasing their skill level is only supposed to affect their killing ability, but it seems since the increase in skill that they are actually helping charge and attack nodes more aggressively, which is a good thing. And whereas I used to rarely get killed by a bot before, they can actually be a threat now, and shouldn't they be? Otherwise, why have them at all?

It does not make them any better at navigating the map or linking nodes, sadly.

Polling is a waste of time. You bitches will just do that, bitch and complain at
eachother. I love you all, so I'm just going to change it to random values and
when the bitchin' is at a minimum... VOILA.. new setting.

<3

So, for you pussies that can't handle the bot skill level (HoC Freon is set at Godlike,
I can usually beat a bot 10-2 to 10-4 in a 1v1*), it's reset. New bot count as well.

BITCH ON !




*Ya, I know I know.. DM'ing is different than ONS'ing.

Want a Cookie???

Yeah, pussies that can't handle bots! Give me 32 bots with Godlike skills, V 4 assign just 1 to your core top and that will solve those enemy bitches from spawn killing in your core.

You Rock, Carpe.

Since the server is now empty starting around 1100 PM ET on weeknights, can we consider putting the bots back to 8?

The late-night crowd are all long gone as far as I can tell.

Yeah just last night I hopped on expecting to get into a decent game and to my surprise the server was completely empty. This has become somewhat routine.

I'm not the stats-man, but my recent experience is that the server is only populated starting around 6:00 PM Eastern Time until 11:00 PM ET during the weeknights Monday through Thursday. Weekends on Sat/Sun it starts a little earlier maybe mid-afternoon. But the rest of the time it is completely empty.

I used to find pick-up games with 1 or 2 people at noon, but lately that's very rare. Why I'm playing CEONSS more lately, the Euros are 8 hours ahead of me and playing during my daytime, when OMNI is a ghost-town.
